Lazy About Posting...

Hello Friends. Thought I better check in here or you might think I've fallen off the face of the earth. I haven't by the way. Life continues to be busy and when I only have time for one extra thing in the evening I will almost always choose stitching over blogging (or anything else for that matter!) Although some evenings I am so tired that I just "veg out" but you don't want to hear about that -- you want to see the stitching!

I don't have too much to share; I've been working on some secret little gifties that aren't quite finished yet. I do have a finish though - over the weekend I stitched and finished the 2010 Shepherd's Bush fob. I am just thrilled with how it turned out! I was worried about the ribbon finishing, but it went together so quickly and easily! Here it is (modeled on the beautiful Gingher Elena scissors):

Speaking of Shepherd's Bush - is anyone out there going to their retreat? I would love to go, but this won't be my year - maybe 2012.

I also have some framing to share with you; this is the last of it now for awhile. Don't get me wrong, I still have a drawer full of stuff that needs to be framed, but will need to save some more $$ to fund the framing costs!

I hope you had a wonderful Easter weekend! We had a small gathering of family members and enjoyed a delicious ham with some cheesy potatoes, asparagus, and a fruit salad. After dinner we played cards - have you heard of the game "Hand and Foot?" It involves several decks of cards; we played for a few hours. It was a good way for all generations to enjoy their afternoon together!

Too bad the weekend had to end -- just a four day work week for me this week. On Thursday my DD and I are traveling to her chosen college to schedule her classes for next year.

I love that SB fob! Congrats on finishing it! Love the framing too! I know the feeling on framing costs. Painful! How exciting that your daughter will be registering for her classes for college next year! Have fun!

I love your fob Cathy. I bought that one and gave it away for a RAK, seeing yours makes me want one. Your framed stitching looks great! I am contemplating about the SB retreat. I live so close and I just don't know if I want to spend the money for somewhere so close to home.....is that weird or what??? Maybe that is why I should go. Confused...that's me.

Fantastic job on that FOB ~ the ribbon and scissors are perfect! Congrats on the completion and framing of those two beautiful pieces. I still need to stitch the Home of a Needleworker...so little time!Wondering where your daughter will be attending school? Hope it is a mere "car" ride away!
